In Ed Dixon's new comedy, six late greats have checked into a strange and wondrous Parisian hotel. Sarah Bernhardt (Deanne Lorette) and Jim Morrison (Daniel Hartley) bicker over breakfast while Oscar Wilde (Brent Harris) and Victor Hugo (Sam Tsoutsouvas) trade vicious barbs. As Isadora Duncan (Kati Brazda) and Gioachino Rossini (Tony Triano) wage war over the Ouija board, one angelic waiter (Evan Zes) caters to their every whim. But their fondest desire is for reincarnation, which just might be possible through a young woman named Catherine (Erika Cuenca). With gales of literate laughter, L'Hotel skewers celebrity culture and looks for the true definition of greatness.

The designers for L'Hotel are James Noone (Scenery), David C. Woolard (Costumes), Kirk Bookman (Lighting), and Zach Moore (Sound). Don Wadsworth is the Dialect Coach. Casting is by McCorkle Casting LTD. Ruth E. Kramer is the Production Stage Manager and Caitlin Roper is the Assistant Stage Manager.
